Active Disco Is due for another Haircut

Almost a year old, Disco Is a Potuguese Water Dog also known as a PWD, attends our doogy day care. This breed does not shed its hair. The hair is either wavy or curly. Disco’s Curly coat which is "Compact, cylindrical curls and somewhat lustreless. If left untended, the hair on a PWD will keep growing indefinitely. Problems associated with this include the hair around the eyes growing so long as to impede vision, and matting of the body hair, which can cause skin irritations. For these reasons, PWDs must be trimmed about every two months and the coat brushed every other day.





Disco is very sociable and has many friends at Day Care, including Archie the desirable Daschund. There's never a dull moment when Disco's around, his name says it all.

Baby Muffin is back from holiday

Muffin, our first dog to join our doggy day care resulting from a cross between Chihuahuas and Shih-tzus, she's just returned from her first holiday away from doogy day care and was terribly missed. Due to their small size, they are usually accepted in the cabin spaces of most pet-friendly airlines for additional fees [updated as of January 2010, the fee for American Airlines in a cabin-carry-on was $30USD one-way for a domestic flight within the United States].

Cheeko

 

Cheeko is a cocker spaniel and poodle cross namely a Cockerpoo!
He has a very timid nature and not used to socializing with other dogs or new people.
Only time will tell if Cheeko will settle and make new friends but the team
are working hard to include Cheeko in on all the fun and games!
Cockers are very friendly dogs that have great scents of smell, that’s why their category is of the Gun dog group!
Where as poodles are more show dogs, grouped in "utility" which is a non sport group or function.
The characteristics of a Cockerpoo would lie between both breeds.

Christmas came early at Doggie Day Care!


Christmas came early yesterday at Doggie Day Care, one of our director became "Santa" and distributed the new toys!
It was a joyous moment for all! The dogs didn't know which toy to pick up first, the ball, the cuddly Mallard Duck, the Giant snail. Dawin managed 3 toys at once! It was a toy overload and they loved every moment.

Doggie Day Care is not just about the carers sitting with the dogs and stroking them, we want it to be an interactive experience for the dogs. Every day is a school day after all and we expect our dogs to learn new things and work hard for their treats.

Yesterday Bea, Badger and Dawin excelled in the Dog Tornado, working out how to remove the plastic bones to reveal tasty, healthy treats.
We gave the other dogs slightly easier games such as Dog Brick. Again Bea, Dawin and Badger out did themselves.

Trying to find toys that can last come sometimes be a mission. It's also frustrating that the ones that last aren't the desired toys of choice. The dogs much prefer a cuddly toy that can it to shreds.
It makes them happy though which is the main thing!

Tyra injects some serious energy into Doggie Day Care.

Tyra is a 10 month old Husky. She is a breath taking dog in appearance and has a huge amount of energy.

Huskies are a popular breed due to their beauty but people do not do enough research into their temperament, behaviour and needs.
Huskies are an active, energetic and resilient breed whose ancestors came from the extremely cold and harsh environment of the Siberian Arctic. They were then imported to Alaska and Canada to become a sled dog.

This is a powerful dog, they require training from a young age, especially when it comes to walking them on a lead.
They can after all, pull a sledge!

Siberians have a thicker coat than most other breeds of dog. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, usually with white paws and legs, facial markings, and tail tip. The most common colors are black and white, copper-red and white, gray and white, and pure white. Striking masks, spectacles, and other facial markings occur in wide variety. They tend to have a wolf-like appearance.

Tyra is a very receptive dog, one of our carers has worked extremely hard with her all day to improve her behaviour and in just one day we have seen a big difference. Being a young female still, there is a fight to see who sits where in the pack. Although Tyra is dominant, she is not aggressive.
In time, Tyra will settle down and we really think that Doggie Day car will be great for both her and her owners.

We Welcome Charlie With Open Arms!


We have the pleasure of having the beautiful Charlie attend Doggie Day Care.
Charlie, the English Bull Terrier is a perfect example of the phase "appearances can be deceiving"

Charlie attends day care on a regular bases and provides us with an endless amount of cuddles. She also was one of the first dogs that Badger the Springer Spaniel really started interacting with.
She has a very placid temperament and a lot of love to give. She's not picky who gets that loves. Charlie would quite happily curl up with one of our carers or another dog, Otis was the chosen one in the picture!

She can't resist a game of fetch or tug of war. She's quick of the mark and agile. This is one super dog and she's really stolen the hearts of the carers especially mine!

Bull terriers are renowned for being both strong in mind and in body, they are typically very affectionate dogs that love human company.
Charlie mixes well with other dogs and has been socialized from a young age. This really helps with how she behaves.
Charlie is lucky enough to have a lovely and dedicated owner who works for the Royal Veterinary College. Charlie is regularly called up to assist the college in Clinical research and demonstrations. She is quite happy to lie there all day and assist people in there findings.

English Bull Terriers such as Charlie are a joy to have and it's great that she has such committed owners who understand how much she will benefit from Doggie Day Care.
